Coldness in church, not healthy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chill

'coldness' is the definition.
(chill is a kind of coldness)

'church not healthy' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'not healthy' becomes 'ill' (unwell or unhealthy).
'ch'+'ill'='CHILL'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chill that I've seen before include "minor illness" , "A feeling of coldness" , "Make cool" , "Preserve by cold" , "Feverish cold; relax" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
